Characterization of asphaltenes aggregation and fragmentation in a shear field

Aggregation and breakup of asphaltenes flocs in a Couette flow device are studied for various values of shear rate (G), volume fraction of particles (φ), and solvent composition (ratio of toluene to n‐heptane in the solution Xs). The number average asphaltene aggregate size initially increases befor...
